laissez les bon temps rouler


Happy Mardi Gras!

I thought it would be nice to have a King Cake for breakfast but I knew there was zero chance of that. I was hoping instead for some sort of cinnamony pastry like a bear claw or at the very least cinnamon rolls. A quick trip to the grocery store deli and no such luck. They had a small pack of mini cinnamon rolls that were over priced. No thanks. They did have some of those not-made-there frosted sugar cookies done up in Mardi Gras packaging. The sprinkles, however, were not regulation colors. Instead of purple, green, and gold they were piss yellow, pine green, and some dark blue that nodded down it’s nose towards the purple part of the spectrum. I came away with a dozen doughnuts and a deeper hatred of here.

Here are some pics I found around the interwebs. I won’t post any of my Mardi Gras trip nine years ago because A) it would depress me, and B) I’m too lazy to go through all the back-up discs and find them.
